Brief summary

Arthroscopic ACL repair can be performed under different types of anesthesia. In the last few years peripheral nerve blocks have increased their popularity for this kind of operation. The investigators want to see how the type of anesthesia and postoperative analgesia effects the time required for patient mobilisation.
